Countertop Preparation

The cooktop sides of the drop-in range fit over the cutout edge of
your countertop.

If you have a square finish (flat) countertop and the opening width
is 30" (76.2 cm), no countertop preparation is required.

Formed front-edged countertops must have molded edge
shaved flat

³⁄₈" (1.0 cm) from each front corner of opening.

Tile countertops may need trim cut back

³⁄₈" (1.0 cm) from each

front corner and/or rounded edge flattened.

If countertop opening width is greater than 30" (76.2 cm), adjust
the

³⁄₈" (1.0 cm) dimension.

Countertop must be level. Check levelness by placing level on
countertop, first side to side, then front to back.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3. To place range on its back, take 4 cardboard corners from the

carton. Stack one cardboard corner on top of another.
Repeat with the other 2 corners. Place them lengthwise on
the floor behind the range to support the range when it is laid
on its back.

it on its back on the cardboard corners.

5. Pull cardboard bottom firmly to remove.

more people, stand range back up onto cardboard or
hardboard.

from centerline, as shown.

holes of the determined mounting method. See below.
